Sad to see engineering talent wasted in creating these filthy devices.

Could have put his abilities to better use.

Have fond memories of firing a 9mm Glock 17 on my first day at the shooting range many years ago.

It was quite easy to load and fire, and could see young girls also finding it lightweight and easy to use. And inspite of it being light there still was not too much of recoil, a problem otherwise for the lighter handguns.

Only American think everyone need guns. In Japan and lots other country people have no gun can not buy gun. In Japan we suvive OK with no gun. America biggest mistake is to have so many gun
